'Big Sam & hoofball? Not at West Ham'

Gus Sharkey from www.westhamonline.net provides the view from the opposition ahead of Sunday's game.

How are you feeling about our visit?

Quietly confident, we didn't play well at Spurs the other week or during the first half against Chelsea, but the 2nd half we bullied them and deserved the 3-1 victory. If we come out and play at a high tempo Liverpool might struggle to control the game.

How are the fans finding life under Sam Allardyce?

Despite what you may have read in the press, we're loving the way that Sam has turned the club around and our suspicions of playing hoofball have been proved unfounded. We're mixing it up and playing some good stuff with pretty much the same side we came up with.

Who makes you tick?

Kevin Nolan for me, he's not the best player in the side or the driving force, but he's so influential on those around him and links things up well. And he's partial to scoring the odd goal or two, he's the best captain we've had in years.

Who do you rate on our side?

Luis Suarez is a class apart.

Song we can expect to hear?

Apart from the non-stop singing of Bubbles, I reckon '2-0 to the Cockney boys' might get an airing.

Best and worst thing about being a West Ham fan?

Best thing is the rollercoaster ride we have every season and the supporters. And there is nothing bad about supporting West Ham. Even the bad bits, it's character building.

Anywhere our fans can get some grub and a drink?

There's no end of chicken shops to choose from and The Central on the Barking Road is away supporters friendly.
